If you’re involved in the design or operation of Offshore Floating Platforms and would like to find out more about the use of simulation to understand, improve or mitigate the effects listed below, CD-adapco is holding an educational seminar for you.

Offshore Floating Platforms are required to survive extreme environments, including large waves and hurricane force winds, over several decades of operation. Historically, designers have relied on a combination of Potential Flow codes, physical tests and experience. While each of these brings value to the design process, gaps and uncertainties remain. Advances in software and hardware technology, as well as success validating CFD methods, mean companies such as Technip are now routinely applying CFD, or the Virtual Wave Basin in projects, enabling them to deliver a better product with reduced risks and uncertainties.

Guest presentation from Technip

As an industry leader in offshore floating platforms, Technip is constantly innovating in the design and construction of these complex systems by taking advantage of modern design tools like numerical simulation. This presentation will give examples of how they have deployed numerical simulation in the design spiral of offshore platforms for cost-effective, faster and efficient design.
